if x is constant, y is...

Okay, so if we are intrigued by certain texts (as in Naa Kwarley's example, Fantasy Novels) that others may not find intriguing and vice versa, is there a way to tap into the brain and say "hey! find this intriguing!"? We will not be able to change what authors have authored, this is the constant variable.

What's the other variable? Can we change how we interpret, or rather, our side of the relationship? How then do we change it? How do I make/train my mind to find the grueling article from the journal of biochemistry as beautiful and as fascinating as the books I read during my free-time? I'm sure there's a way we can do it... hopeful, nonetheless.
